It seems that I haven’t (in the time of writing) added a geolocation to one of my favorite photographs, as well as Life-moments.
Truly a “Breathless Balcony.” Taken on the third day of a recent Inka Trail trek at Intipata in Peru.
Meanwhile, back to the subject. If we’re talking about Flickr, Yahoo! comes to mind. The only thing that sucks about mapping on Flickr is the limited coverage and subpar details of Yahoo! Maps (in this case). You get results like these:
I saw this new Apple ad yesterday on ESPN after reading about it from Ryan Sims. Its a campaign for the latest iPod shuffles.1
Apple has taken over the ESPN homepage in the past. Their ads have successfully interacted with elements of the page, and not to mention, brought the clicks in as people have been intrigued by them. I know I was, as I had to replay them more than twice.
Check out this very creative Apple iPod Touch ad which appears to be “breaking” the Yahoo! Games homepage.
Note: The music is by The Asteroid Galaxy Tour, titled “Around The Bend”.
PS. This is the second Flash ad that I can recall doing this “break” concept. The first one I saw to successfully fool me to doing a WTF-moment occured this past September. It was a Nintendo Wii game campaign for Wario Land: Shake It! on Youtube.
Here’s my second team for Fantasy Basketball. It was using the default stat categories, and have only a total of 12 team managers.
Just had a 14-team fantasy basketball live online draft earlier at 8:45pm. All I can say is that it was pretty darn long w/ 14. 12 would’ve been great.
Meanwhile, the league is hosted by Yahoo. I can definitely say that I like playing on there best as their UI/UX just rawks. Other than it being 14 team managers taking about 1-minute and 30-seconds to do a pick, I was upset at first grabbing the 13th spot in the draft order1. But I guess, it was a good thing on the wrap-around. Here’s how my team shaped up to be:
I was trying to pickup Rudy Fernandez (Portland Trailblazers » PG, SG) for my 13th-spot but he got picked up at the end of the 12th-round. There were a couple of more guys in front of Radman but hearing that he’ll be starting in front of Lamar Odom and Trevor Ariza as a Small Forward, I say why not. He’ll probably get some dishes from the inside and sink some threes in. Being a player with only PF status at the moment, he’ll need to start at least 3-games if I recall correctly in terms of Yahoo dubbing him as a SF.
Anyways, I’m happy overall with my draft being 13 out of 14 team managers. But if you got any suggestions with regards to picking up another Shooting Guard and/or Center, let me know. I’m thinking I might need a SG to fill in that 3rd-spot rotation till Monta Ellis heals up.
